Drell-Yan Di-Lepton Production Why Drell-Yan? Asymmetries depend on PD only (SIDIS→convolution with QFF) Why ? Each valence quark can contribuite to the diagram Kinematics x F =x 1 -x 2 x1x2x1x2
Drell-Yan Di-Lepton Production Scaling: Full x 1,x 2 range. needed [1] Anassontzis et al., Phys. Rew. D38 (1988) 1377
Drell-Yan Asymmetries Polarised beam and target To be corrected for: NH 3 polarised target:
Drell-Yan Asymmetries Unpolarised beam and target Di-Lepton Rest Frame NLO pQCD: λ 1, 0, 0 Experimental data [1] : 30 % [1] J.S.Conway et al., Phys. Rev. D39(1989)92. involves transverse spin effects at leading twist [2] : cos2φ contribution to angular distribution provide: [2] D. Boer et al., Phys. Rev. D60(1999)
Angular distribution in CM frame - + N + + GeV/c -0.6 < cos < < M < 8.5 GeV/c 2 cut on P T selects asymmetry 30% asymmetry observed Conway et al, Phys. Rew. D39 (1989) 92
Drell-Yan Asymmetries Unpolarised beam, polarised target Even unpolarised beam is a powerful tool to investigate к T dependence of QDF D. Boer et al., Phys. Rev. D60(1999)
Weak decay B.R. = 0.9 % events / 100 days [1] Smith and Vogt Z. Phys. C75 (1997)271
